Thanks for joining us tonight!
Bopara is the Match Hero: "It was nice until the rain started coming down! It was a great atmosphere, a great game. A lot of games have been close all the way through the comp. Once you've got a wet ball, it's harder to commit to the slower ball. But luckily it was quite light, so we got away with it. We've played so many games at Lord's and the slower balls do work. It was a must-win for us today. The support has been brilliant here all through the year."
9.08pm: Spirit win by 13 runs and stay alive in the men's Hundred! They jump up to fourth in the table with their second win of the season, and with two games to go each, they are a point off the qualification spots. Superchargers will consider this a missed opportunity, having restricted Spirit to 160 and edged ahead in the chase. They are still alive in the competition but have lost three on the spin and need not only to win their last two, but hope other results go their way.
